Coming Soon to a Mailbox Near You

These envelopes do not stuff themselves. Gloucester Stage recently requested assistance in preparing for an upcoming mailing so I went over to help out. Fellow volunteers Cindy and Deborah checked, folded and stuffed right along with Stage employees Billy and Melody.  There was a specific order for the envelope items, but if yours is backwards,  consider it a little hello from me.

Melody and Billy didn’t mind their photos taken, but Cindy and Deborah declined.  They were diligent and hardworking on behalf of the Stage Company, so thanks for spending your afternoon in this manner!

Holiday Delights is coming! Always a popular show, so get your tickets ASAP.

One night only! Tickets here.

INJURED COYOTE EAST GLOUCESTER

Saturday morning at 8:30 am, an injured Eastern Coyote was spotted In East Gloucester. The coyote was not bearing weight on its right back leg. He trotted gimpily up Plum Street, before heading down a driveway halfway up the street.

Note in all the photos the Coyote is holding up his right side back paw.

Sick and injured coyotes can be unpredictable although, this one appeared nonchalant. I at first thought it was a large dog and was headed towards him to possibly help him find his way home. Despite its inability to put weight on its paw, his coat looks healthy and and he was almost jaunty, leg injury and all.

Dinner At Feather and Wedge Was Outstanding

img_20181116_185910_14720181116_180124

Wifey who normally is pretty reserved when reaching across the table could not get enough of her dinner and mine.  There were so many “OMG this is amazing” comments after every bite that I lost count.

The room, the service the food taste and presentation- all on point.  We’re big fans.

The Calm Before The Storm

As I drove my favorite “drive-around” route, I was thinking about the imminent Thursday night storm. Although I was pretty sure this weather event wasn’t going to rise to my definition of STORM for Gloucester, I did take note that everything looked calmly prepared for whatever the immediate future held. By the time you read this, we’ll all know the outcome!
